Garth’s child was badly scalded on his neck and chest after he started playing with a boiling water tap in a break room in the police station

According to the Tennessean, the children are in the care of their father.

Franklin police said in a statement: “Following Garth’s arrest, officers called DCS to assist with caring for Garth’s young children after she was unable to provide contact information for other family or next of kin.”

“We hope that the public recognizes that there are two sides to every story. We hope that the people whom we serve know how earnestly we care for their rights, their safety and especially their children.”
